Sweater

Sylvia Plath

November 30, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

For the next installment of The Authors (see the first here), I designed an outfit inspired by Sylvia Plath. Naturally I wanted to incorporate a few of my favorite female authors as well. Sylvia was an American novelist and poet working in the ’50s and ’60s. Her life was fraught with mental illness and personal…Read More

Founding Fathers

November 9, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

One of my favorite parts of fall is layering. Sweaters, flannels, button downs, it all goes together. I layered this sheer, lace, white button down with a tie under a burgundy sweater hoping to achieve a prep-school look.

I’m a big fan of the athleisure trend, even when it’s subtle like the stripes on this sweater. It adds a playful touch to what would otherwise be an ordinary garment.

I paired it with a grey turtleneck sweater to accommodate the chilly weather and my go-to nude t-strap heels. Sweater:…Read More

Blustery Boston

by Celina[zilla_likes]

The temperatures are slowly dropping here in Boston and I’m taking every opportunity I can get to wear cozy fall clothes. This is another sweater turned dress from Primark. It’s so comfortable but has an easy chicness about it. I paired it with heeled booties but it could just as easily be styled with stilettos for…Read More

Outside the Box

October 5, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I approach every article of clothing with an open mind. It’s a strategy that has worked well both in thrifting and regular shopping. If you just look at a dress as a dress then that’s all it’ll ever be. The best way to be creative with your wardrobe is to think outside the box. One…Read More
